Consequences

[Nox]

Nox grinned playfully at Elyse, he could think of a way to blow off steam. He pulled her in against his body and held her before he let her go to answer her question. Nox nodded towards Sage on the stairs. "If hacker boy over there, stops jonesin' I was gonna have him throw the balls at me - backwards gym glass. Not that I ever went to gym class, but that's what all those old movies show."
Nox watched Sage as he paced back and forth. "I'll put the walls back up so you won't get hit. Unless you want to throw balls.. at .. me ... too."
Sage was pulling something out of his pocket.

Nox sighed. "Just a sec Elyse."
Nox walked over to Sage as he turned around. He'd only gotten a glimpse of the smile on his face as he plugged back in. Nox pulled the small piece of hardware from the socket in Sage's head with a decided click. "Strict orders - no connectivity."
Nox sighed. "You don't tell me why but you and your doctor said no using that thing in your head."
Nox tapped Sage on top of the head. "Turn it off."
